Brad Pitt Eyes TIGER with Darren Aronofsky

Brad Pitt will star in and produce the adventure thriller, The Tiger, with Darren Aronofsky directing.

Variety reports the story “takes place on the Siberian plain, where human development is encroaching on the tigers’ habitat — and one tiger turns on the intruders. With townspeople being tracked and hunted with an almost supernatural power, a conservationist game warden must face down the tiger. It is a fight that only one of them can win.”

The Tiger, which will be produced by Brad‘s production company Plan B and Darren‘s Protozoa Pictures, is based on a nonfiction book by John Vaillant called “The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival,” out August.
